Understanding the Gospel
What is the Gospel Message?
Basic Gospel Message ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Basic Gospel Message Sin is rejecting and rebelling against God, denying Him his rightful place in your heart and life. It is to chose to be your own god and look to created things to find meaning, purpose and happiness rather than looking to your Creator.
Basic Gospel Message Repentance is being convicted in your heart that you have sinned against God, confessing that conviction with your mouth, and turning in your heart from sin to God.
Basic Gospel Message Faith is putting your trust in Jesus and all He did and committing yourself totally to Him.
Proclaiming the Gospel
How Do I Share My Testimony?
What is a testimony? It is your story of how you came to be a follower of Jesus. It is telling others of what Jesus has done for you. It is one sinner telling another sinner how to find peace with God.

How to Share Your Testimony
Important Considerations
Be Real
Be Humble   1 Corinthians 2:1-5
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 And I, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Glorify God Not Yourself
Focus on Jesus
Use Bible Verses

Have Beautiful Feet
Ending Romans 10:13-15 For “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? …
Ending Romans 10:13-15 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (NLT)
